Redeeming Rue Ap4
““I feel like saying thank you isn’t strong enough for how I feel about what you both did for me. You don’t know me, but you stood with me and were willing to be hurt on my behalf. I don’t understand it, but I’m thankful for it. Thankful for both of you.”
James said, “We’re your mates, Rue. I know we haven’t done things properly – we haven’t asked you to be ours, we haven’t even gone out on a date – but that doesn’t change the core of what we are together. John and I are yours and you are o...urs. You don’t need to thank us for protecting you, because that’s what mates do.”
John watched Rue’s reaction to James’ speech. John felt each word as strongly as James clearly did, but Rue had almost no response to what he’d said. Her eyes had narrowed slightly, but that was the only reaction that John had seen. She didn’t look quite as wary as she had before they’d eaten, but she didn’t seem to be entirely relaxed either. There was an artificial stillness to her body, as if she were trying to make herself appear to be relaxed when she wasn’t.MoreLess
